Parkersburg City Election.

Special Telegram 10 the Reoistcr.
PARKERsBURG, January 9.-The cleo
ton for city officers yesterday was very
quiet one. The result was the election OF
o. NJ. Clemens, Republican, Mayor, de-
feating Mr.. Martin, the Democratic nom
inee, about so votes The h. of L. ticket,
composed of three Democrats and three
Republicans, was elected. K. s. Malley,
a fourth Republican, was also elected,
leaving the disposition of the Recordership
in rather strange shape. If there was a
special arrangement with the X. of L.. as
claimed, perhaps neither of the three de-
feated candidates for these positions will
receive the appointment, ifnot, I. s. Con-
lev, the defeated Republican candidate,
will probably be reappointed.

PECULIAR CASE.
The Back Pay and Allowances Due Lieut.,
John McSaughton.

John McNaughton.
SpecIal TJ!sqrum 10 he Register:
WASHINGTON, d. c., January lO.-The
Senate has passed bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay to pay to
John McNaughtoD, of Gervais, Sciotc
county, Ohio, the pay and allowances due
him for services rendered the United States
as second lieutenant of Company &, First
Regiment of West Virginia Cavalry Vol
unteers, from the 10th day of August,
1864, to February >, 1864. This. bill has
received the favorable consideration of the
House Committee on War Claims, and has
passed the House of Representatives.
The case Of Lieutenant McNaughton is
unlike the many bills Of a somewhat SIM
liar character which the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs have reported adverse
ly at this session, in that he was commits
stoned second lieutenant by the Cover
nor of West Virginia, and performed the
duties of that rank, but received neither
nav, rations nor clothing for his services,
either as n second lieutenant or an enlisted
man, during the period of five months.
There is abundant, undisputed and sat
isfactory proof that McNaughton perform
ed the services of the rank Of second lieu
tenant as claimed.
Unless the President should veto the
bill it will become q law.

WHEELING, Dec. ,, 1886.

DEAR SIR: As We inquire IeSuAlS OSA@-
tor Camden is nOnearer q reelection now
than he was before November 2d. The in
formation comes to us in way that en-
titles it to credit, that there are two Dem
Ocratic Senators and eight Democratic
members elect Of the House who declare
that they will not, under any circum-
stances, vote for Mr.. Camden.
IL takes 46 votes to elect. The Demo-
Gratis have 30 votes all told. Deduct those
who saw they will not vote for Camden,
and he can muster but 40 votes on joint
ballot. We admit that no great reliance
can be placed on Democratic courage to
resist the crack of the party lash. But
this year the circumstances are peculiar
The hue of demarcation between the Cam
den and the anti-Camden factions Is as
marked as that between Republicans and
Democrats, and we may be able to secure
some advantage from it.
Camden is fully alive TO this condition
Of affairs and is now trying 10 strengthen
himself outside Of n caucus nomination.
His emiSSaries have already approached
some of the Republican members elect,
trying TO secure from them pledges Of sup
port in open session if it shall be found
necessary. But we don't think he has
secured any thus far.
Please do not consider Us As assuming
the role of political instructors. We know
that you are as well posted in our political
affairs rs we are, and probably better. Our
only desire IS to promote the Republican
cause and expose the scheme Of the man
who dIOES Is responsible for our defeat this
fall, and by means that are q disgrace to
civilization. This scheme we kRo,r is now
being cOncocted.
He tried the same game in 81 when it
was thought he could not get the caucus
nomination. This is not idle rumor. We
kRoto 20 be true. II he finds now that be
cannot get the caucus nomination with all
the Democratic members represented in il
his whole power will be exerted to beat all
Others in the caucus and throw the cleo
tiOn into the joint convention without q
nomination, and then try and secure
enough scattering Republican votes. which,
added to those of his partisan friends, who
are pledged to stand by him to the last

no larger cariiverous animal could
venture, into dark and noisome

swarms of the lesser reptiles, on

die and produce pestilence. Won
drously and exquisitely constructed

and while they help to clea: those
inaccessible places of the lesser YER

for a number of smaller mammalia,
which, with many carniverous birds,
devour vast numbers of young
snakes. The hedgehog, weasel,

goat, and an immense number of
birds keep snakes within due limits,
